sort date ascending, if null value sort descending

[Guest]

I need to sort ascending in a report as follows: Group by bank then sort by
date. The crux is if the date is null then place the null date at the end of
the bank group.

In the Sorting and Grouping dialog box, replace your date field with

=IIf([YourDateField] Is Null,1,0)

HTH,

Swimgirl,

You can use an expression like this to sort on...
IIf(IsNull([YourDateField]),99999,[YourDateField])

This can be done in the query that the report is based on, or in the
Sorting & Grouping dialog of the report design.
